After the engagement banquet, Lele and Ji Yin's wedding date was set for February 14, which was also the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The reason why it was chosen on this day.

On the one hand, Chinese New Year's Eve happens to be Valentine's Day in the West, which has a better meaning; On the other hand, the Ji family is busy with work and only has one day off during the Spring Festival.

There's no way around it.

In order to support the domestic disaster, the major factories in the Kangaroo Country are basically working overtime to produce various materials, and coal companies are the top priority.

As the top leaders of the group, Ji's father cannot leave his post without reason no matter what.

After a month, after a comprehensive investigation and analysis, the board of directors of ST Seaweed finally approved the proposal to invest in the South Philippine branch.

According to the project plan, the estimated investment of the entire sub-base is more than 80 billion yuan, which is larger than the current sub-bases combined.

By then, the annual production capacity of Xinke Seaweed will exceed a staggering 5 million tons, which can feed at least 30 million people, which is equivalent to the annual food production of Sydney.

In fact, Xu Dong did not approve of such a radical plan at first, after all, there are only a few people in the entire Philippines, and they can't digest such a large production capacity.

In contrast, he himself is more inclined to expand the sub-bases of the Kangaroo Country, one is under his nose, the other is thousands of miles away, and it is clear which is better and which is inferior.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

Just before the board of directors voted, Minister He, an old acquaintance of the Ministry of Commerce, personally called him and asked him to actively cooperate with the Philippine development strategy of his superiors.

This is the official will, and he can only do it.

On February 1, the "Lina" officially returned to the sea.

He was accompanied by some middle and senior executives of the ST headquarters, as well as their families, including Ye Hui, the general manager.

Yanjing's production base has been shut down for several months, and it is just the right time to take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize key personnel to fully support the project in South Philippines.

For this business trip, Ye Hui and the others naturally would not object, and even a little excited, if they were not reluctant to work, they would have already found a way to immigrate south.

The disaster situation in Yanjing is hardly optimistic.

On the first day after getting on the ship, Ye Hui took the initiative to find the big boss.

Xu Dong invited the other party into the study.

"Dong Xu, I want to talk to you about the company."

"Oh? Didn't we all talk about it in our meeting a few days ago? What more could you say? ”

Ye Hui did not beat around the bush: "Dong Xu, I suggest that the company's headquarters be moved directly to Nanfei." ”

"Why?"

Xu Dong had similar thoughts before.

It's just that the destination is not Nanfe, but Sydney.

Since the relocation of the "Yahu Headquarters" to Qiongdao, coupled with the current snow disaster, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yanjing is accelerating its decline.

Every time he came on a business trip, he had the most intuitive feeling, and sure enough, he responded to that sentence:

Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.

"There are three reasons for this."

"Then tell me more."

Xu Dong poured a cup of green tea for the other party.

"First, the fundamental reason is that the South Philippine branch has the highest production capacity, accounting for almost two-thirds of the share;

Second, Yanjing's attractiveness is declining, not only can it not attract new talent, but even the original talent is difficult to retain.

Since the second half of last year, the laboratory has lost dozens of elite researchers, half of whom went to Professor Zhuang Zhen's side, and half of whom simply resigned. ”

Xu Dong frowned: "What else?" ”

"The last reason is my personal opinion, I think the development potential of the Philippines is greater than that of China and the kangaroo country, and we should actively participate in it."

Ye Hui cut the railway.

"How so?"

"Just look at the area, the area of Philippines is 30 million square kilometers, almost three times the size of the Great Xia, and the reason why it could not develop in the past was mainly because of the harsh natural environment.

But now it's different, the whole world is the same, no one is much better than the other, and the overall low latitude of Philippines has now become an advantage. ”

Xu Dong hit the nail on the head: "No matter how good you say, it's useless, Philippines has an Achilles' heel, that is, the lack of coal, the coal of the kangaroo country, it is already very difficult to supply the country." ”

"Xu Dong, Philippines is close to the oil-producing area, but there is no shortage of energy."

"It's always controlled by people, not insured."

Xu Dong shook his head.

In a sense, the reason why Asia can dominate the Philippines must have made exchanges in many aspects.

For example, not to intervene in the war between Europe and Juda.

Another example is not to meddle in the affairs of the Americas.

The oil-producing area is the lifeblood of Europa, and the other side will not give up its core interests under any circumstances.

Ye Hui did not give up: "Don't forget, there is also controlled nuclear fusion? As long as the project is successful, it will be completely free from dependence on coal and oil. ”

"You're thinking too far."

"Dong Xu, people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries."

Xu Dong tapped lightly on the table, and Ye Hui's idea was indeed a bit fantastical at first glance, but when he thought about it carefully, it was difficult to find a flaw.

"So, you high-level executives plan to take root in Philippines for the rest of your life?"

Ye Hui nodded: "Yes, we have discussed it privately, including Academician Zeng, Professor Huang, Director Martinez and Dr. Alex, everyone is willing to go to the Philippines to break through." ”

"So coincidentally?"

Xu Dong said in disbelief.

"It's not a coincidence, if Professor Huang and Dr. Alex want to go further, they just lack a qualification that they can get their hands on, Director Martinez basically follows Dr. Alex, as for Academician Zeng, it's strange to say, this matter was brought up by him first......"

"You don't need to explain, I see." Xu Dong waved his hand, "This matter must have been promoted from above, otherwise with the status of Academician Zeng, there is no need to make another move." ”

Ye Hui hesitated for a while: "Dong Xu, I heard a rumor here. ”

"What rumors?"

Xu Dong subconsciously asked.

"In view of the current grim situation, it seems that a third-tier homeland plan has been drawn up, with the domestic being the first line, the kangaroo country being the second line, and the Philippines being the third line."

"Is it reliable?"

"I don't know, but I heard that many enterprises and institutions in China have moved to Feizhou, or are planning to move there, I don't know if it's intentional."

Xu Dong smiled: "Okay, whether there is this third-tier home plan or not, since Academician Zeng and they all agreed, then I have no reason to object." ”

"Dong Xu, did you agree?"

Ye Hui looked surprised.

"It's not enough for me to agree, this matter must be voted on by the board of directors, you first go to Nanfei to explore the way, and then submit a report, if there is really development potential over there, it will not be too late to move then."

Xu Dong commanded.

"Yes, we will definitely investigate carefully."

……

A week later, the yacht docked in the small city of Songkhla.

Ye Hui and the others disembarked here, and they would transfer to a car to go to the port of Perlis in the west, and then take a passenger ferry across the Tianzhu Ocean to South Philippines.

This avoids a detour through the Sunda Strait and saves a lot of time.
